2 Vital Steps for Success WHAT TO DO AFTER GETTING A DUI
If you’ve recently been arrested for a DUI, you’re probably unsure of your future. Maybe you’re worried that you’ll lose your license, or even your job. Luckily, you don’t have to face the process alone. We’re here to give you a fighting chance to contest your DUI case. But before we do, you’ll need to ensure you follow these two steps to the letter. 1. Call the DMV ASAP! When you’re discharged from jail following a DUI, the officer will give you a pink piece of paper, which will act as your 30-day temporary license. To avoid or delay the suspension of your license, you need to call your local DMV within 10 days (including weekends) of your arrest to obtain a stay and a hearing for your case. You can acquire a hearing usually 1–3 months after your arrest, and the stay will usually prevent your license from being suspended up to this point. Make sure you have your license and ticket ready when you call, as they both contain information the DMV employee will need to grant your request.

And even if you lose at the hearing, you can take the case to court and potentially win there. 2. Go to Your Appointed Court Date Make sure you go to court on the day that was specified when you were released from jail. If you don’t, a judge will likely put out a warrant for your arrest. In the ensuing months, the court may force you to appear several more times. This is generally a tactic to wear you down so that you accept a plea bargain, but it’s important to maintain your resolve.
